Soil application dominated the nematicide market
- The demand for nematicides has been increasing due to the presence of various nematode species attacking the wide range of economically important crops in North America. Plant parasitic nematodes cause damage individually and form disease complexes with other microorganisms, thereby increasing crop loss. Annual crop losses due to nematodes are estimated at USD 8.0 billion in the United States. Nematicides can be applied through different methods depending on the type of pest and growth stage of the crop.
- Compared to other application methods, such as foliar application (spraying the nematicide directly onto the plant leaves), soil application of nematodes generally poses fewer risks of exposing non-target organisms, including beneficial insects and pollinators, as the nematicide remains primarily in the soil, where the target nematodes reside. Owing to this, soil application dominated the market with a share of 70.7%, valued at USD 598.7 million in 2022.
- Foliar applications accounted for 11.2% of the North American nematicide market in 2022. The main purpose of foliar application is to control the infestation of inflorescence and leaves by the nematodes. For instance, chrysanthemum nematodes are foliar nematodes that cause white rice tip, and summer crimp nematodes cause spring dwarf diseases in cereal crops.
- The crop losses due to nematode infestation are increasing every year, acting as a major concern for farmers and forcing them to use nematicides. Therefore, the market is anticipated to register a CAGR of 3.2% during the forecast period.

North American farmers' emphasis on nematode management for optimal crop health and yield maximization will drive the market
- North America has a diverse agricultural sector. Nematodes can impact a wide range of crops, including major commodities like grains, fruits, vegetables, and specialty crops. As a result, there is a growing demand for nematicides to control nematode populations and mitigate crop losses. In 2022, the region accounted for 30.8% market share value of the global nematicide market.
- The United States is a major consumer of nematicide products. Nematodes can cause substantial damage to crops, leading to yield losses and economic impact. The farmers recognize the importance of nematode management to ensure optimal crop health and maximize yields. As a result, there is a strong demand for nematicide products in the United States, contributing to its major share in the North American market.
- Mexico is experiencing rapid growth in its nematicide market. It is anticipated to register a CAGR of 5.2% during 2023-2029. Mexico is one of the leading exporters of agricultural products in the region. As Mexico aims to meet the stringent quality standards and requirements of international markets, there is an increasing need to effectively manage nematode populations in crops. The rising export demand for Mexican agricultural products is driving the growth of the nematicide market in the country, making it one of the fastest-growing markets in North America.
- Factors such as increasing awareness among farmers, advancements in agricultural technologies, and expansion of agriculture contribute to the growth of the nematicide market. Therefore, the North American nematicide market is expected to register a CAGR of 3.9% during the forecast period (2023-2029).
